Display image to ASP .NET from bynary data MSSQL 2000

Hi I have image in database sql server 2000 and want to display in ASP .net page. I make the memorystream from that data and write directly to page using Response.Write([bynary stream]) but U know it only display one image and other HTML is gone.

Normaly a HTML or ASP.net page will display image using local files like this <img src=..........> but how if I want to display it from memory stream that doesn't have physically in storage ? Or should I save that binary to storage first and then reference it ?

So anyone that have solution for this problem please help me how to this thing .........

You don't understand. I'm not ask about image !

My question is how to display a binary image in memorystream to ASP.NET page via HTTP ?

I try to directly write by HttpResponse.Write( ... ) but U know it display the image only......

What I want is this image can be displayed in ASP.net page ......, I can't use <img src='.......'> ,

because it's on memory stream not in URL format or in local file in your hard drive.

Hi,

smcoxon has given part of the answer but that is related to winforms. The picture box can accept the byte stream that you get from the binary datatype you stored the image in.

For aspx pages.

You have to first create a page which just serves the images.

so your image tag would be

<img src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=YourImageServingPage.aspx?imageID=1" ...

On YourImageServingPage.aspx

You would remove all mark up and then add this to your code behind

Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType="image/jpeg"; or any image type you are serving.

You would create a BitMap class load your bytes from database and write the image to the Response.Write stream.

You would find many articles on this Search Key: dynamic image generation

Happy programming,
